First-Pass Metabolism Solutions
Our new CBD Capsule addresses the primary problem with all ingested cannabinoids: Sub-Standard Bioavailability.
First-Pass Metabolism Solutions
The first pass effect (also known as first-pass metabolism) is a phenomenon of drug potency loss whereby the concentration of a drug or nutraceutical, specifically when administered orally, is greatly reduced before it reaches the circulatory system.
Cannabinoid Bioavailability
The oral bioavailability of all cannabinoids is very low (0.3-19%) primarily due to massive loss caused by the P450 enzyme superfamily. Most of the loss is caused by the prominent CYP3A4 enzyme. (2,3)
CannaBoost™
Combining CannaBoost™ with cannabinoids (including CBD) will significantly reduce absorption loss due to first-pass metabolism, thereby significantly increasing oral bioavailability (7,8)*.
Bio-Dri™ Protects CBD*
Patent-pending Bio-Dri™ encapsulates and protects cannabinoids from stomach acids and enzymes to deliver an intact molecule ready for absorption.* Bio-Dri™ works hand-in-hand with CannaBoost™ to maximize every milligram of CBD and other minor cannabinoids.*
